"Hearts"
by Jeph Johnson
Together
Alone
Our hearts
Progress
Regressing through
This life
To death
Refusing
To leave
Resisting belief
Returning
Again and again
While dreaming
Of happiness
And deceiving
Awakened by loneliness
Repulsive desperation
With everyone around
Beating in vain
Some broken sound
Calls out the heart's name
Yet no trace of a pulse
Or animation
Through angst is
Found in this dream
The heart ranks
High in humiliation
Low in esteem
Racing against itself
